What is "blood vessel" in chinese? I searched an online google translation from english to chinese and got this:

血管

Other dictionaries such as cambridge also suggested this, but I am not sure about this. My context is mainly for biology.

I checked from National Academy for Educational Research (Taiwan, ROC) (link).

出處/領域••• 中文 •••英文詞彙

藥學 血管 vascular

生命科學名詞 血管 blood vessel

畜牧學 血管 blood vessel

動物學名詞 血管 blood vessel

獸醫學 血管 blood vessel

畜牧學 血管 vessel

魚類 血管 vascular canals

only 血管, others unlikely

血脉 is for traditional Chinese medicine or for culture (血脈)

静脉 is vein

動脉 is artery

血管 is fine.

A alternate and vety uncommonly used version may be:

血脉

or the Traditional version:

血脈

    血管 is medical. It may appear with 肌肉, 神经. 血脉 is more inclined to lineage.

  • For bio, it is 血管. In the context of traditional Chinese medicine(中医), 血脉 may also be also a term, they say 血脉滞涩, but here 血脉 is abstract, they do not mean the real pipeline in body.

血脉/脈 could have cultural aspects:
